Review of Queen of Outer Space (1958) by Allan C — 16 Jul 2014
A crew of astronauts crash lands on Venus and are then captured by the inhabitants of the planet, who all happen to be short-skirt-wearing Amazonians. Adapted by regular "Twilight Zone" writer Charles Beaumont from a Ben Hecht story, the film is certainly not the smart type of writing that either man was typically known for, but it makes no pretentious about what it is and is entertaining enough in a silly Saturday Matinee kind of way.
Reused stock footage from other film and I thought the astronaut uniforms looked like copies of the uniforms from "Forbidden Planet" but then I read that they actually were the uniforms from "Forbidden Planet".
And if you were wondering, the star of the film, Zsa Zsa Gabor, does not play the titular Queen and plays one of the Amazonian scientists.
